Predicted to enable several functions, including JUN kinase kinase kinase activity; caspase binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to muramyl dipeptide; positive regulation of cellular protein metabolic process; and positive regulation of interleukin-1 beta production. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including immune response-regulating signaling pathway; positive regulation of cytokine production; and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton; cytosol; and vesicle. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human RIPK2 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2).
